-i'm gonna miss jamming to your ipod with you.

I first met Fausto during Freshman year football at De La Salle Institute and I was lucky enough to have numerous classes with him during our four years at &quotesDe.&quotes He was a great classmate, always willing to give his great insight in class and he was never afraid to speak his mind. Fausto was one of the best artist I knew and always liked to show me his art. He had a great sense of humor as he always knew how to make others laugh.
After graduation, I was lucky enough to keep in touch with Fausto as he and his family moved across the street from me. When I would come out to work in my family’s restaurant or park cars for Sox games, Fausto would always stop by and we would tell jokes with each other and talk about what was going on in our lives. I always looked forward to seeing him and I will miss those times.
Fausto was a great man with a big heart. He was always willing to help out his friends.
Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the mass because I am away at school but I just want to express my sympathy to the Manzera family. I will miss Fausto and I know he will never be forgotten.

Dear Fausto, Maria and Family – on behalf of the &quotesChico Family&quotes please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. We feel your pain. Heaven has received a precious gift in your son. May you find comfort in God’s Grace and with eachother. Be strong, move forward, continue to live your lives for your child. It’s what Fausto would want for his family to do. Remember him always by laughing, remembering the good times, and being together as a family. Keep your family and good friends close, you will find in them comfort. God Bless You All.

Fausto’s life illuminated the lives of all that new him. He was an incredible talent and his life will not be in vain. Whatever the Manzera and Cazares Families need to mobilize a movement for justice I will make my effort count. I love you Fausto.

Fausto was in my Latin@ Religious Experience course last quarter. He was a very bright man who always stood up for his beliefs, even when I argued against him. He created an incredible painting for my course with people who were blades of grass and a large bright sunflower with a face. It is one of the best artistic interpretations of Latinoa Theologies I have seen from my students. God bless you.

It is my prayers that your family receive peace and consolation. My heart goes out to the Manzera-Velez family. Fausto, your smile brighten up the room whenever you entered. I will miss you dearly. God bless you, and you are in his kingdom.

Fausto and I had known each other since we were in grade school. And out of all my friends, us two always kept in touch, that being because of Fausto. We even made the attempt to reunite a couple years ago after like 8 years. And ever since then we were computer buds, he’s show me the spots, take me to eat, and even introduce me to his pops. I am the lucky one to have met Fausto and spent the time that I did with him. He was BUD! & it is unfortinate that he was taken from all of us. But I honestly feel like I can talk out loud and he can here me and I crack jokes and I can really hear him laugh. Thank you to Mr. Manzera and Ms. Velez for bring such a good man into this world. With lots of love, your friend NICOlE
